feelings from a traveller along life's pathways

I've travelled; I've lived here and there; always searching for something. And yet perhaps the one discovery of recent years has been the realisation that I have a strong clear voice inside. I listen so much to so many voices, some my own - despairing, angry, frustrated, scared. And I want to achieve so much! But what I'd really like is to reach out to you, call you to listen to your voice. And then who knows what might happen in this crazy world of ours. And I'd like to live on in your thoughts. Share what we have and who we are; what else can we do? We all have such strength and beauty and love - we just have to find the courage to show it - and to share it. Because that's where hope comes from. That's how I can face the future.

What's up?

A friend of mine remembered my birthday and sent me a card. Always nice. Then she asked me what I've been up to, and said she'd go off and look at my website to find out. Little did she know!

I suppose the whole idea of websites and blogs is that you can keep them up to date so people know what you're up to. Great theory; BUT... In truth I've been rather busy at work, travelling around and getting tired. So, no new poems, no new blog entries, no new photos. Not the way I'd intended.

So, here's a note. I'm still around. I spent the August bank holiday at Harmony College - the educational weekend put on by BABS (the British Assoc of Barbershop Singers) - at Nottingham. I found out what it's like to sing in a chorus of 130 with 50 of them basses. OK, when I was with Watford Philharmonic, we had 130 singers - but the biggest group was the altos, and then the sopranos. A different sound altogether.

I'm still busy helping people cope with the shock and disruption of getting new IT systems in their workplace. I'm still exploring other avenues of creativity when I can.
